FUNCTION SELECTION
W hen FORMAT is
selected (configuration
selector section 1), the
MARK and BKGD
puskbuttons are enabled and connecting the REMOTE inputs (TLμ-xx1)
to the power supply as shown in the table allows to select up to 4
different settings (formats). This is the factory setting.
If a non-set format is selected, the sensor is disabled and the green LED
flashes at a low rate.
A setting can be stored selecting a format and executing the procedure
described in the “SETTING” paragraph.
W hen SET is selected (configuration selector section 1), the MARK and
BKGD pushbuttons are disabled; the REMOTE inputs (TLμ-x1x) replace
the pushbuttons functionality.
Connecting the REMOTE A and B inputs to the positive power supply
rail is equivalent to pressing the MARK and BKGD pushbuttons
respectively. Connect the unused inputs to 0V.
TIMING FUNCTION
When ON is selected
(configuration selector
section 2), a delay timer
function is enabled which
extends the minimum ON
output time to 20 ms. The factory setting is OFF (timer disabled).
SETTING
A two-step setup procedure adjusts the switching threshold and the
LIGHT/DARK mode. Using the procedure given below the sensor output
is set to be ON when a mark is detected.
1) Output ON state acquisition (MARK)
Place the target mark into the emission spot and press the MARK
pushbutton until the green LED turns OFF.
Don’t move the mark during the setting phase (about 1 sec).
2) Output OFF state acquisition (BKGD)
Place the background into the emission spot and press the BKGD
pushbutton; the green LED blinks once.
Don’t move the background during the setting phase.
If the green LED lights permanently ON, a safe operation has been
obtained; if it flashes at a low rate the setup procedure has failed due to
insufficient contrast; repeat the procedure from the beginning.

FUNCTION SELECTION
The Auto-Set function automatically adapts the switching threshold
according to the mark and background sequence that has to be
detected.
The sensor automatically places the switching threshold at a lower level
respect to the signal corresponding to the light reflected from the mark.
The difference between the signal corresponding to the mark and the
switching threshold represent the hysterisis.
The light/dark operating mode selection for the detection of a mark
lighter than its background or viceversa, can be obtained connecting the
pin n° 2 of the M12 connector: free or connected to 0Vdc for dark mode,
connected to +Vcc for light mode.
The analogue output is not available in the models with automatic Auto-
Set setting.
A model with PNP output and a model with NPN output are available;
the selection of the output type cannot be made, in both cases, using the
selectors present on the sensor.
